Cambodia will nominate Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in securing a ceasefire with Thailand after days of skirmishes. Sun Chanthol, Cambodia's deputy prime minister, said his country would recommend Trump for the award as he praised him for a diplomatic breakthrough.

S ince his return to the White House in January 2025, US President Donald Trump has made no secret of his ambition to secure the world’s most prestigious peace honour, the Nobel Peace Prize. His administration, allies, and even some foreign leaders have continued to make the case for why he deserves it, while critics remain deeply sceptical.
